While there isn't a specific mention of a public AMI for G5 instances with GRID drivers in Bahrain, I can provide some information that may be helpful for your situation.
For G5 instances, you typically need to install the NVIDIA GRID or gaming drivers, as the public Tesla drivers are only for headless compute. When setting up a G5 instance with NICE DCV, it's recommended to follow both the NVIDIA driver installation guide and the NICE DCV installation guide.
To set up a G5 instance with NICE DCV and the appropriate drivers, you could consider the following approach:
- Start with a base Windows Server 2022 AMI (or your preferred OS version).
- Install the NVIDIA GRID drivers suitable for G5 instances.
- Install and configure NICE DCV server.
Alternatively, you could automate this setup process using EC2 Image Builder. AWS has announced an Amazon-managed component for NICE DCV within EC2 Image Builder, which can help automate the addition of DCV to visualization workloads. This component works for both Windows and Linux operating systems.
If you're looking for a more automated solution, you might want to explore using the EC2 Image Builder with the NICE DCV component to create a custom AMI that includes the necessary GRID drivers and NICE DCV configuration for your G5 instances in the Bahrain region.
While this doesn't provide a ready-made public AMI, it offers a path to create a customized image that meets your specific requirements for G5 instances with GRID drivers and NICE DCV.

Are you referring to Windows Server 2022? NVIDIA has Server 2022 AMI in AWS Marketplace
Alternatively, install GRID (RTX Virtual Workstation) driver yourself as per documentation. Or you can use the CloudFormation template mentioned by blog Building a high-performance Windows workstation on AWS for graphics intensive applications
From what I can tell, G5 instances are not publicly available in Bahrain Region. You can verify instance type availability from EC2 console. G4dn is available as per screenshot below
